Free live masterclass · Thursday, November 19
How normal people land their first paid UGC deal in 30 days by pitching like a recruiter (without followers or fancy gear)
I was a corporate recruiter living with my parents at 26. Seven days after I set up, a brand paid me $500 for one video, and in month four I made $10,500. On Thursday I'll show you exactly how I pitched them, live and free.

UGC creator · founder of UGC Buildout
I spent four years as a corporate recruiter. On paper it looked amazing, but I was miserable, broke and in debt.
In December 2024 I moved to Las Vegas where I knew no one, found UGC, and landed my first paid deal seven days after setting up. Fifty days in, I called my boss and quit.
Everything on Thursday comes from what's working right now for me and my students, with no following needed.
